1994 CHEVROLET CORVETTE fuel reserve

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with
the electronics in your vehicle. If you
add electrical parts or accessories,
you could change the way the fuel
injection system operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check
with your dealer. If you don’t, your
engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle
towed, see the part
of this manual
that tells how to do it without
damaging your vehicle. See “Towing
Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Engine Power Switch (ZR-I)
The LT5 engine in your ZR-1 has two sets
of intake runners and fuel injectors. The
primary set can be run alone for normal
engine power, or both sets can be used
for
full engine power.
Full power gives you extra power for
highway touring and off-road sports use
and reserve power for passing. With
normal power, you’ll notice less engine
and exhaust noise. To
change the power setting, put your
engine power key into the switch. Turn
the key to the setting you want and let
go
The key will return to the center position.
Your ZR-1 is able to run at full power
under the following conditions:
The engine coolant and oil
temperatures are greater than
68 OF
(20°C) but less than 302°F (150°C).
e System voltage is greater than ten
e The “SERVICE ENGINE SOON’
volts.
light is not on.
You can switch the setting at engine
speeds up to
4,000 rpm. When you
select the
“FULL” setting, a light near
[he switch will come on. It should go
>ut when you change back to the
“NORMAL” setting. When you turn the
ignition
off, the setting will go back to
normal power.
Off-Road Track Use
See your Warranty Book before using
your Corvette for off-road track use.
NOTICE:
If you use your Corvette for off-road
track use, your engine may use more
oil than it would with normal use.
Low oil levels can damage the
engine. Be sure to check the oil level
often during off-road track use.
You
may need to add additional oil. See
“Engine Oil” in the Index.

Fuel Gauge
Your fuel gauge shows about how much
fuel is in your tank. The bars light up
when the ignition is on or, if the ignition
is
off, when you turn on your parking
lights.
When the display
is down to the last two
bars,
“RESERVE” will appear next to the
gauge.
Here are three concerns some owners
have had about the fuel gauge. All these
situations are normal and do not indicate
that anything is wrong with the fuel
gauge.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts
off before the gauge reads
“F.”

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Run your engine only as long as you
must. This saves fuel. When you run the
engine, make it go a little faster than just
idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly.
This uses less fuel for the heat that you
get and it keeps the battery charged. You
will need a well-charged battery to restart
the vehicle, and possibly for signaling
later on with your headlights. Let the
heater run for awhile.
Then, shut the engine
off and close the
window almost all the way to preserve the
heat. Start the engine again and repeat this
only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But do it as little as
possible. Preserve the fuel as long as you
can.
To help keep warm, you can get out
of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous
exercises every half hour or
so until help
comes.
Towing a Trailer
Your Corvette is neither designed nor
intended to tow a trailer.

Chevrolet regularly sends its dealers
useful service bulletins about Chevrolet
products. Chevrolet monitors product performance
in the field. We then prepare
bulletins for servicing our products better.
Now, you can get these bulletins too.
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some
pertain to the proper use and care of your
vehicle. Some describe costly repairs.
Others describe inexpensive repairs
which, if done on time with the latest
parts, may avoid future costly repairs.
Some bulletins tell a technician how to
repair a new or unexpected condition. Others describe a quicker
way to fix your
vehicle. They can help a technician
service your vehicle better.
Most bulletins apply to conditions
affecting a small number of cars or trucks.
Your Chevrolet dealer or a qualified
technician may have to determine
if a
specific bulletin applies to your vehicle.
